    I'm taking off the Trd stickers and a lot of the glue is still stuck on the truck. What's the best way to get it off? Goof off?

    Well the goof off stuff is working but now I noticed there's a haze around it. Is that just the adhesive getting mixed around and I need to just keep rubbing it out?

    Hey bro, it is most likely too late now... but if you are still having issues with the glue/stickers or if you run into this again in the future, use an eraser wheel. You can usually pick one up at a paint shop or decal shop for about $10. I used one on my 2010 two weeks after purchase and absolutely no harm to paint and the pneumatic tool did the work.

    FYI
